The afternoon heat pressed down, even within the sterile, air-conditioned hospital. The mix of antiseptic and stifling air was suffocating.

Inside the ICU lounge, Ronald slouched on the sofa, lazily flipping through a tabloid a nurse had dropped off earlier.

A low, mocking chuckle slipped from his throat.

“What a shame.”

He’d expected SCA’s PR team to react quickly, but he hadn’t imagined they’d wipe the scandal clean within half an hour.

A day’s worth of planning, his carefully prepared “gift,” had been erased in an instant.

From the hallway came the sharp, frantic click of heels, echoing closer and closer.

Then—slam—the door burst open.

Gia rushed inside, her face pale, her expression frantic.

Ronald barely lifted his gaze before dropping it back to the magazine, his voice cool and dismissive.

“What happened now?”

Her chest rose and fell as she struggled to catch her breath, her words trembling.

“Cecilia’s grandfather… he left a secret will!”

The page froze mid-turn. Ronald’s eye

    In the bridal suite, with Eleanor's help, Cecilia finally slipped out of her heavy wedding gown and changed into a knee-length red cocktail dress.The zipper had barely gone up when a firm knock rattled the door.Knock, knock, knock.Then came Liam's deep voice from outside."Are you ready? Cecilia."Cecilia's heart skipped. She clutched the fabric of her skirt, staying silent.Eleanor noticed the flush creeping up Cecilia's neck and leaned close, whispering, "Let him see a different kind of beauty."With a teasing wink, she turned and walked to the door.The moment it opened, Liam's gaze locked on Cecilia—and didn't waver.The red dress hugged her waist perfectly, the heels elongated her pale legs, and her red lips gleamed like temptation itself.She looked like a flame come to life—dazzling, dangerous, and impossible to look away from.Eleanor smiled, satisfied by Liam's stunned expression.Without bothering to close the door behind her, she slipped out.As her footsteps faded down t

    On the other side of the estate, Ronald pushed his wheelchair slowly down the gravel path.He barely noticed the bumps under the wheels—his only thought was to get away as fast as possible.But then, a tall figure appeared ahead, walking straight toward him without the slightest intention of stepping aside.Ronald's hands froze on the rims.His eyes lifted, his brow furrowing sharply when he saw who it was—Liam.His pupils tightened, a flash of humiliation and fury rushing through him.He forced his expression into calm indifference, but the death grip on his wheelchair's arms betrayed him.Liam observed every tell, every suppressed emotion. His steps were measured and composed, carrying the easy confidence of a victor.He stopped right in front of Ronald, his voice smooth and deliberate."Thanks for coming to my wedding with Cecilia. But—" He paused, glancing around with cold amusement. "This doesn't look like the area for guests, does it?"The blatant dismissal was, to Ronald, nothin

    The world watched the lavish wedding through live streams, with reporters capturing every moment unchallenged.Liam had allowed it all.He wanted the world to know—Cecilia belonged to him.Cecilia held his arm, her fingers tightening slightly.Despite the confident smile on her face, a quiet unease lingered beneath the surface.What backlash would this grand exposure bring?But when she looked up at the man beside her, his steady gaze melted her fears.No regrets.She shouldn't be afraid.Whatever came, they'd face it together.Finally, the tedious formalities ended. Liam calmly led Cecilia to the front.He adjusted the microphone, his voice clear and carrying."Thank you all for sharing our special day. The ceremony is now concluded."He paused, his eyes locking onto a specific spot among the guests."I'll now hand the floor to my brother, Robin. I believe he has quite a bit to say."Robin's wine glass jerked, crimson liquid sloshing perilously close to the rim.His face went sheet-wh

  • Dumped Her Ex, Married A Secret Billionaire   Will You Marry Me?

    Liam instantly recognized her distress. His hands moved to rub her back, his words coming faster, laced with palpable panic."Not like that! Cecilia, breathe! Just listen to me!""Haa—"A ragged gasp finally broke through as Cecilia dragged air back into her lungs.She stared at him, her gaze locking onto his, mustering every shred of her remaining courage."What…" her voice shook, "are you trying to say?"Liam knew he could delay no longer. He released a heavy breath, his expression turning utterly serious."You know my name. Liam Sinclair. It's not just a coincidence, someone sharing the same name.""I am that Liam Sinclair. The third son of General Ferdinand Sinclair and Her Royal Highness, Princess Grace. And just this morning, I officially assumed the position of CEO for SCA Group's New York branch. This is the real me, Cecilia."The air seemed to solidify around them.Cecilia felt the ground give way beneath her.She staggered, her slender heels unable to steady her against the

    In a relatively quiet corner of the manor, the day's two main protagonists walked hand in hand along a path sheltered by shade.Liam's grasp was warm and firm. Cecilia followed a step behind, the hem of her white lace dress whispering over the flagstones.She watched his tall, straight back, her heart beating a frantic rhythm that belied the honey-sweet smile softening her lips.It was all so perfect that she overlooked the anomaly – this wasn't the way to the wedding ceremony area.Only when Liam came to an abrupt halt did Cecilia realize they stood in the estate's secluded back garden.The music and chatter from the wedding party had faded into silence.Before them, in a spot drenched in sunlight, stood an archway woven from pure white blooms. Crystal ornaments twined among the vines, scattering tiny rainbows under the sun. Thousands of petals carpeted the ground at their feet; white roses and baby's breath swayed gently in the soft breeze.This was unmistakably… a scene set for a p

    In the bride's preparation suite, the calm,elegant atmosphere was shattered by a sudden phone call—from Eleanor.All the stylists and assistants stopped what they were doing in unison, quietly stepping away to give Cecilia privacy.The moment the call connected, a near-hysterical shriek pierced the air—"Ahhhhhhh—!"Eleanor's voice trembled with excessive excitement, quickly devolving into a stream of incoherent sentences, laughter, and shouts all jumbled together.Cecilia could barely make out a single complete word.But Eleanor has been like this lately, and she's gotten used to it.She pinched the bridge of her nose, her fingers pressing against her throbbing temples, her voice laced with weary exasperation."Eleanor, CALM DOWN!"A moment of silence fell on the other end, replaced only by heavy, ragged breaths, as if Eleanor was trying to pull herself back from an emotional vortex.But the calm didn't last long—"Then I'll tell you in person!
